It all started with Wale the rapper, who sprayed money on his daughter during her birthday.

Americans got mad but Wale’s not about to apologise for his heritage. In fact, here’s what he told TMZ.

You would think that will make them chill. Not for a second. When BBC carried the story, Americans came to sit on their TL, throwing words like vulgar and rape and what not about.

But if you know Nigerians, they gave it to them. There were one or two Nigerians though, going on about the culture being vulgar and enabling corruption.
See the dramatic exchange below:
Here come the “poke nosers”
You probably to young but they had money showers on shows like "The Price is Right" an American show. To each their own.

Not just rape. Stripping, too?
This the US, everyone knows throwing money on a broad is degrading. Unless she's a stripper. Which still is๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ but it's a job

But, rape though!
Like why are all the Americans in the comments comparing spraying money to rape?? How are they even related?

Its disgusting that people will even equate "spraying" a baby with spraying a stripper money.

White Westerners: Spraying money is degrading and vile, same way we don't accept honour killing and rape culture.

Abeg please, let us Nigerians celebrate the way we want. We aren't looking for validation from others about our cultural customs

To be honest, if you're not Nigerian or even African, see yourself out of this thread. Y'all like to spread your poison everywhere you can.
